44-36, 2nd Place, 4 1/2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: For the second night in a row, a dramatic ninth inning home run lead to a comeback win over the Nationals.
What It Means: Fantastic! The Phils are playing exciting baseball.
What Happened: Aaron Nola got the start and allowed two solo home runs in his five-inning outing. The Phillies took a 3-2 lead in the fourth. Brandon Marsh singled, went to second when Alec Bohm reached on an E4, and came home on a Bryson Stott double. J.T. Realmuto brought Bohm home with a sacrifice fly and Gabriel Rincones, Jr. singled Stott home a batter later. The lead lasted until the sixth when Jonathan Bowlan allowed a two-run home run to Curtis Mead.

Again with two outs in the top of the ninth, Kyle Scwarber walked and pinch-hitter Derek Hill cemented his place in Phillies lore with a two-run home run, jubilantly circling the bases. Jhoan Duran effortlessly struck out the side in the bottom of the ninth, earning his 19th save and giving the Phillies another win.
Featured Card: Hill doesn't have a Phillies card yet, unless you count his 2026 Chachi card, and I was bummed he didn't receive a Topps Now card for his homer in this game. This is his first appearance in a Topps set from the 2022 Topps Update release.
Transaction: Bryse Wilson (rhp) was claimed off waivers by the Chicago Cubs. The short-timer appeared in one game with the Phillies, pitching two scoreless innings. Barring some crazy stroke of luck or unintended checklist mistake, Wilson will never appear on a Phillies baseball card.
